If you maintain your lawn every week like i do . Come spring I just lower the lawn mower one inch more than normal and fill that bag . Then I complete it with some fertilizer a day before they say it might rain . Just waiting for rain now .Used the lawn mower while the eclipse was happening
Been doing this for 40 years .

Ps you don't want to lower it to much if the grass is not green as it will pull a lot of good grass out from their roots before they awaken .

I power rake every spring, then fertilize, and that is it for my lawn preparation. I leave the raker blade on my old mower, and only use it for power raking, so no work changing blades., or readjusting mower height.. I am hoping to power rake my front lawn today, but the back is too wet.

Hi Stella,

What type of clean up are you looking to have done?

Try giving Calgary Lawn and Garden a Call for a price. I didn't use them personally but a buddy of mine that lived in McKenzie did. He seemed happy with them.

Call Kelly at Best Bet Lawn and Snow 403-909-5926. I've used several and these guys are the best that I've found.
